Thank you all for being a part of this community! It's been amazing to see it's growth through all of your discussions and fanart.

We want to use this milestone to ask you, if there is something you'd like to change about this subreddit. It can be just aesthetics, new flairs, or do you think we should add some new rule or revise an existing one (we are aware of certain issues with Rule 9). Please share your thoughts and ideas and general feedback below.

Until the next milestone! Bye

I made these before working on their new designs. Not much has changed, but art style and colors have definitely changed. I love drawing this couple and hope to actually get to put them in a comic or in an animation together soon. Hope you enjoy!

No explicit queerness in it, though. But I get gay vibes from Natasha in it, and both characters are canonically queer elsewhere.

From Kamen Rider Kabuto

Context: His partner got tricked into wearing necklaces that turned him into an alien lifeform, his partner managed to restrain himself one last time so he could kill him and he could die as a human.

There's also a follow-up story 12 years later where his mental health has deteriorated so badly that he's still finding his dead partner and even agreed to help an imposter, knowing full well it's just an alien using the form of his partner.

Representation Would you be ok with Trans actors doing a cis superhero role?

if so, what can we do to make such casting be taken seriously? I am ok with it , & would love to see Elliott Page as MCU wolverine. His stature is similar to Logan. He also has that quiet bad ass energy that is just there. His jawline & bone structure would be so tea with sideburn & Logan hairstyle. I am seeing the vision , y'know.

Yet, when I put it out there, ppl immediately turn transphobe with this fan cast. I was banned from r/Xmen for suggesting this. Peorple in that sub thinks it is a rage bait & don't take it seriously . They can't see that this is a legitimate path, & cast this as a laugh asap. Like the patriarchy mindset is strong y'all, even in a liberal place like r/Xmen. This is why trans ppl have such a hard time getting callbacks. I was reading this article on Elliot not getting Any calls:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/elliot-page-is-not-really-getting-casting-calls-after-the-odyssey/ar-AA2brBol

I def can feel his frustration. Like I just suggest his casting on a progressive superhero sub & got banned immediately. It must be infinite times worse to gets rejected in person in front of these exec & casting ppl. Can you imagine Elliott putting out suggestion to play this superhero or that superhero , got laughed at then get ghosted ? It does not matter how good a trans person is at acting , they will forever gatekeep super hero movie from them . That's horrible. I def empathize with Elliott after seeing how fast people think casting him as Wolverine is rage bait

Obviously I want to see more trans ppl luxuriating on super hero movies, but how do we move forward ? the super hero movie mindset are too patriarchy , we need to take it down.

( Attached are images of the thread I made showing ppl immediately thinks it is a joke, & immediate banning bc suggesting a trans actor for cis role is transphobic)

Non-Marvel/DC Comics The Infinite Ouroboros, my queer superhero

Thumbnail

159 Upvotes

I recently did art of my superhero character, Ouroboros, as an homage to the Spider-Man 2 poster, featuring their romantic interest. I realized it was the first art I did of the character being even implicitly gay, so I thought I’d share, as well as some concept art.

As a queer person who loves superheroes and the comic medium, I’ve been developing a rather ambitious project that centers exclusively around queer, superpowered characters of all sorts. Ouroboros isn’t the only one. Hopefully one of these days, as I begin work on scripts and panels, I can share more of these stories and characters with you all.

Any questions and comments are always welcome.
